Hawaiian Girl

Hawaiian Dresses and Hawaiian Shirts for the Whole `Ohana! Pa`inaGirl.com specializes in cute Hawaiian dresses. Our Hawaiian dresses are popular choices for informal beach wedding dresses or affordable bridesmaid dresses and range from fun and flirty to casual elegant. Hawaiian dresses and matching shirts can be worn for all occasions; our matching aloha prints can be used for parties, family photos and luaus, unique bridal wear, company events, and of course just for fun. In fact, our resort wear has been very popular for beach wedding dresses or garden wedding dresses since they are so comfortable and pretty, too! (Matching the guys in Hawaiian shirts is always a nice touch, too, even if you are just attending a party and are not in the party!) We are located on the island of O`ahu, nicknamed "the Gathering Place," as most of the population in Hawaii lives and works here. Even though it's cold out, why not take a trip to the islands, even if only in your mind? You'll be warmed by the thought! Locals here in Hawaii have been enjoying the comfort and style of "alohawear" since the 1930s, but the popularity of its bright colors and prints has caught on everywhere. Perhaps it's because of the happy feelings these friendly prints evoke -- put on some alohawear and you can't help but feel as though you're on vacation in paradise! The modern Hawaiian dress is actually something of a new phenomenon for the ladies -- in previous years, the "hawaiian dress" was usually a very conservative mu`umu`u -- definitely not very provocative (however, island women and girls do still wear mu`umu`us on Aloha Friday!). HEY HULA GALS! Looking for hula costumes? Check out our hula store at HulaStuff.com for muumuus, pa`u skirts, coconut bras and more. PA`INA PEEPS! Some of our model friends are something of celebrities in Hawaii. Check out the gallery. Currently in our Hawaii celebrities gallery: Miss Hawaii 2002 Kehaulani Christian, Actress and model Sondra Barker, former UH Football Offensive Assistant Tyson Helton, Island entertainer Jon Yamasato and former UH record-breaking quarterback Nick Rolovich. Cool and hip aloha shirts always abounded for the guys, but stylish island girls found it hard and frustrating to express their Hawaiian style in a feminine way. Only in recent years have aloha wear makers finally caught on and realized that sexy Hawaiian dresses belong in every island girl's closet! You can take the girl from the island... but not the island from the girl! From silky, elegant matching resort wear to bold, fun Hawaiian print dresses, we've got a range of high quality clothing appropriate for every occasion. Let your 'ohana stand out with colorful matching Hawaiian attire --- whether your 'ohana is made up of you and your significant other, co-workers, family, or close friends. Pa`ina means "party" in Hawaiian, so get into the party mood with some great clothes! If you're planning a Hawaiian style luau, complete your theme with some colorful Hawaiian dresses and the essential matching Hawaiian shirts from our Bold and Fun Hawaiian Dresses and Shirts Collection They are made of high quality cotton and can be conveniently machine-washed. Our Matching Resort Wear sets make great informal wedding dresses and shirts if you're planning a Hawaiian or beach theme wedding. If you're planning a Hawaiian style wedding, be sure to check out the new gorgeous silk flowers and freshwater pearl jewelry we just added to our Hawaiian wedding product line at our Hawaiian Wedding Shop ! Be sure to come back and visit as we are constantly adding only the best items from the Hawaiian islands to our store. Even better, bookmark our site for quick reference for some aloha!
